About the Author

Jamie Brook Thompson is a small town girl that loves to tell a good story. She grew up as the daughter of a redneck farmer and hippie mother. Her entire life has been filled with duct tape and peace and love. She currently has 6 children, two dogs, and a handsome Prince of her very own! When she isn’t writing, you can find her out at her father’s ranch changing tires on tractors, working on motors that need repair, or adjusting carburetors on the family four wheelers to ride the high Utah desert. She’s a woman of many talents and trades, but the one she enjoys the most is writing stories to take readers into a world of hope—a world of clean romance!

Excerpts

Cinderella: a REAL life fairytale“Hey, Cindee, before I forget. You have a real nice day.”I nod with about the blankest expression I’ve ever felt, and then he winks. HE LITERALLY WINKS!My eyes are as big as I can stretch them.Either Henry Christensen just did that on purpose, or he has something irritating his eye. I want to go with my first choice, but the second one seems more accurate. I’m the girl with no name, until just now, standing in a huge coat, so it’s gotta be the second choice, right?“Henry? Is that you?” Priscilla’s sticky-sweet voice interrupts.He doesn’t speak a word as he presses on the gas to slowly start backing up.“I’ll stop by the station to pick up the trucks in a while. Make sure you’re there,” he says before quickly pulling onto Main Street where everything disappears, except for the faint glow of his brake lights that blink three times.Is he saying goodbye? I know other girls back in high school had boys do this to them, but not me. NOT EVER. Not once did a boy tap his brake lights to me. I think I’ve died and gone to heaven.​

Beauty and the Beast: a REAL life fairytale“Thank you for this.” I whisper into Adam’s ear.“For what?” He grins.“For being the kind of man that makes a woman believe there’s a God in heaven.” I nuzzle into his shoulder and close my eyes as the preacher asks us to pray.Once we finish, the rows of people begin to stand. I wipe under my eyes one more time just to make sure I don’t have mascara running down my face.

The Frogg Princess: a REAL life fairytale“You probably shouldn’t be with a girl like me. I could corrupt a boy like yourself,” I tease, trying to ease the heat flooding my face. How could I push myself on him? I’m cringing inside at being so stupid.“Nah, I’d happily go as far as you’d allow me,” he softly chuckles. “I just have a promise I made with my brother.”“A promise?” I narrow my eyes.“Yeah, we both agreed to wait for marriage.”I stifle a gasp. Is he for real?

Review

Janice Brooke Thompson is the author of a REAL life fairy tale boxed set and part of the Silver Creek Novella series, including: Cinderella, Beaity and the Beast, and The Frogg Princess. Although the idea of this collection is fun and exciting, readers may find that the stories are a little hard to get into, as they are fast paced, relationships happen fast, and there seems to always be lots of drama between characters. Even with this snag in the novella collection, readers will find these novellas to be quick and entertaining reads. I would recommend this fairytale novella collection to readers that enjoy contemporary romance with fairytales mixed in.
